What’s On Your Workout Playlist?

Hi Guys! How often do you listen to music when you work out? I only use my mp3 player it if I’m exercising solo at the gym. If I’m running outside, I rarely use it. I actually enjoy listening to the birds and general outside noises--maybe because I rarely get to hear them. Plus I’m a bit of a space cadet, so I need to pay extra attention to oncoming traffic (yes, I have been hit by a car before for not paying attention! Not recently, don't worry!) I did turn on the music a few times this past Saturday during the 10-mile run though. It definitely helped whenever I reached a difficult portion in the loop or felt like giving up. I haven’t downloaded anything new in months, and I think it’s time for a new playlist. Maybe you can help me out? Here’s what I’ve been listening to (I don’t really follow pop charts--don’t laugh at my randomness!):

I told you my list (and my taste in music) was random! Do you need music to motivate you in the gym, or do you just listen to whatever’s playing on the loudspeakers? Or do you watch TV instead? (I can never focus with the TV on.) And please, what’s on your playlist these days? I could use some recommendations!
